exercises involve independent movement of joints while applying weight to the exercised body part. The goal is to counteract muscle atrophy and increase muscle strength, prevent joint contractures, and increase joint range of motion.
Indications:
- atrophy and significant weakening of muscle strength
- incomplete bone union
- degenerative changes in joints
- limited mobility in joints
- states after immobilization
- pain syndromes in the musculoskeletal system
Contraindications:
- acute inflammation of the joints
- inflammation of periarticular tissues
- inflammation of the veins
- temperature above 38°
- fractures, post-traumatic conditions
- conditions after dislocation
- disturbed continuity of the skin and soft tissues
- occurrence of pain during exercise
- conditions after surgery before removing the stitches (consultation with a doctor)
- diastolic blood pressure above 100 and systolic blood pressure above 160 (measured at rest)
- the general serious condition of the patient
- condition after computed tomography with contrast
- condition after lumbar puncture (e.g. collection of cerebrospinal fluid)
A referral is required for exercises.
